“This Waterloo hotel positions itself as a practical choice for business travel, enhanced by its complimentary shuttle to local offices and meeting spaces. The on-site Bistro, complete with Starbucks, caters to busy schedules. While its location near St. Jacobs Market is a plus, some aspects of the guest experience seem inconsistent with its aspirations.”
